Boots Xmas 3 for 2 Mix and Match
Christmas gift shopping: what to buy your spouse, teenager or young children from the Boots 3 for 2 mix and match
Christmas is one of the best times of year; you can decorate your home however festive you wish to go, there are lots of parties and social gatherings, and you get to spend time with your nearest and dearest.
But with all of the decorating, partying and celebrating comes a cost. The team at www.moneysavingheroes.co.uk are set on helping people all around the UK save money, not just at Christmas but all year round, and are constantly on the lookout for the best money-saving deals to do just that.
With Christmas drawing ever closer and people starting to make their lists of who they need to buy for and what they need to buy, Boots have a fantastic 3 for 2 offering over the festive period that cover almost all bases. We’ve had a look through the 1,141 items they currently have included in the 3 for 2 mix and match offering (with no doubt many more coming) and pulled out some of the best gifts that you can give your partner, hard-to-buy-for teenagers and the little ones in your life.
How does the Boots 3 for 2 mix and match work?
It’s as simple as you get to select three gifts out of more than 1,000 on offer, and you get the cheapest item free. But there are many things you need to help you get be prepared for Christmas, including wrapping paper, tags and bows – so it’s not just gifts for those around you, and you can make savings in many areas.
Items range from £1 (for wrapping accessories) to £60 (Soap & Glory Sweet Tin-Tations), so how much you save depends on what you’re looking to buy.
What’s more, while it’s fantastic to Christmas shop on the highstreet, you can shop the 3 for 2 range both online and on the highstreet, so if it’s too cold then you don’t have to leave the house, or if you can’t sleep, why not get your shopping sorted and tick one thing off your list?
Our only advice right now though would be to avoid the filter buttons. As of yet not all products have been categorised and you will certainly miss out on some fantastic gifts and deals if you do so.
